OT, can't upload pics to website, please help the PC illiterate

just on the offchance some stupid software (M$) does not recognise .jpeg files as .jpg really quite annoying I find Derek

Assuming you've uploaded the photos to the web server - care to show us the code on the page?

If you tell me how I will, I've only uploaded one pic and that was from the inlaws laptop earlier today.

Dave

He's asking for the URL. The address of the web page.

gotcha

Dave

Rename one pic from "test.jpeg" to "test.jpg" (or vice versa) and give it a go?

Nope, not a dicky bird!

Gett> ok mate. will do

Anyone got any more ideas?

Hmm, works for me . . . .

Email me the pic and I'll have a peek at it. I suspect that there's a file extension problem, not helped by Windows hiding it from you normally but still using it to foobar everything.

I think we have got our wires crossed. the picture that you can see is the one I put on from another pc. It's uploading the picture from my pc to website that I am having problem with. I select the picture, try to upload it, and after a few seconds it rewards me by telling me "the file is not and image" and therefore does not upload?

Dave

Well - then that upload page is the URL that needs to be examined. I assume you have a test account, or can create one for the group to break^w play with?

What software are you using to FTP to the web page? Or are you using a CMS system?

Hello Karen - did you mean to reply to me? it's not my site (any of them) and/or workstation which is playing up. From the O/Ps description I'd guess there's a file upload utility on the page, a la CMS.

No, wasn't replying to you William, just continuing the thread a little carelessly. It's a cold winter's day here, my brain doesn't function too well till the temp is back above 20°C, which it should be in a couple of hours.

And how I hate maintaining CMS sites, give me one I can use Dreamweaver on any day :)

Karen

Think we're going to need to know what you are using to upload it. The upload process doesn't usually give a toss as to what is the content/filelype. I suspect the gallery/display software on the server is being confused by somat.
